Find an apartment with an apartment finder – for tenants
On Findyo you hire an apartment finder for your rental search. You set the finder fee yourself (from one month's cold rent), pay only on success, and get access to flats outside major listing portals.
For tenants in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland looking for a rental apartment.
How the apartment search works
- Create a search profile: preferred area, budget, size, and move-in date.
- Choose apartment finders or receive proposals from finders.
- Reserve the finder fee in escrow once the search starts.
- Review flat suggestions – the finder fee is paid out when you sign a lease.
What you should know
- Creating a search profile is free – no subscription or monthly fee.
- The finder fee stays protected in escrow until success.
- 60-day window per commissioned apartment finder, then full refund if unsuccessful.
- Commission up to 3 apartment finders in parallel with one reservation.
